What are you basing this statement on? All analysis I have seen so far come to the conclusion, that the war is devastating on an humanitarian and demographic scale, but sustainable for years to come from an pure manpower & training-capacity pov. (Given historical data)

The same analysts suggest that the main reason for the current stalemate is the lack of weapon systems/munitions, that would enable a sustained breakthrough like artillery, tanks and air defense systems. Stuff that western allies hesitate or are incapable to provide in large quantities.

You can’t ‘learn concepts by repetition’, that is not how learning works. You can learn a concept & repeat its application to be faster at it.

And that’s the problem. What if the student didn’t catch the concept during the lesson? He or She needs help by a guardian or be punished for not completing the task.

Same thing with the supposed self management skills. What if the student fails at it? He or she needs help by a guardian or will be punished.

At the end of the day homework is a tool to offload tasks of the school to the guardians of the student. A schools system, that relies on homework, is a system that fails in its task of creating a level playing regardless of socioeconomic background of the student.

Germany also has laws criminalizing insults. You can actually be prosecuted for calling someone an asshole, say. Americans tend to be horrified when they learn that. I wonder if feelings in that regard may be changing.

I don’t care about the feelings of Americans reading this. Tbh

Germany is a western liberal democracy, same as the US.

On the other hand I’m horrified, that you seem to equate a quick insult with Deepfake-Porn of Minors.

The police would also seize the records of internet services. I’d think some people would have concerns about the level of government surveillance here; perhaps that should be addressed.

Arguably the unrestricted access of government entities to this kind of data is higher in the US then the EU.

How does that relate to encryption, for example? Some services may feel that they avoid a lot of bother and attract customers by not storing the relevant data. Should they be forced?

There are many entities that store data about you. Maybe the specific service doesn’t cooperate. But what about the server-hoster, maybe the ad-network, maybe the app-store, certainly the payment processor.

If the police can layout how that data can help solve the case, providers should & can be forced by judges to give out that data to an certain extent. Both in the US and the EU

Does the German police commonly investigate this?

Insults? No, those are mostly a civil matter not a criminal one

(Deepfake-) Porn of Minors? Yes certainly

1.) Germany has civil laws giving a person depicted similar rights as the creator of an image. It is also an criminal offense publishing images, that are designt to damage an persons public image, Those aren’t perfect, mainly because there wording is outdated, but the more general legal sentiment is there.

2.) The police traces the origin through detective work. Social Cycles in schools aren’t that huge so p2p distribution is pretty traceable & publishing sites usually have ip-logs.

A criminal court decides the severity of the punishment for the perpetrator. A civil court decides about the amount of monetary damages, that were caused and have to be compensated by the perp or his/her legal guardian.

People simply forwarding such material can also be liable (since they are distributing copyrighted material) & therefore the distribution can be slowed or stopped.,

3.) It gives the police a reason to investigate, gives victims a tool to stop distribution & is a way to compensate the damages caused to victims

Wants that the concerns of people are taken seriously, but uses alt right dogwhistles like ‘immigration is a problem’ & ‘globalist are destroying this country’. Both are absolut non-problems of the common folk, but are used in line with real problems, like rising cost of living.

You, sir, are a clown.

"Everyone is struggling with too much screen time,” said Ludivine, a cardiology nurse, as she had her hair cut into a bob, leaving her phone out of sight in her bag. “I voted in favour, this could be a solution.”

I find it always funny, that you can read the narcissism & projection so clearly. “I have a phone addiction and I have recognised it. Now I am expecting everyone around me to restrain themself, to compensate for my lack of selfcontrol”

And it’s always ‘the children’. If you don’t want your child to have access to a screen, don’t give it one. Society isn’t responsible to manage the screen time of your toddler. You are.

Ja genau. Das es den Leuten in der Heimat durch Kleinigkeiten gerade so viel besser geht, dass sie eben nicht die lange, ungewisse und vielen Fällen wirtschaftliche Existenz verzehrende Flucht antreten, ist jenachdem wen man fragt ein deutlich messbarer bis starker Push-Faktor.

Ob bürokratische Hürden, die man erst erfährt wenn man in Deutschland ist, den gleichen Effekt haben, wage ich zu bezweifeln. Anekdotisch habe ich gehört, dass Leute die hier leben solche Sachen garnicht erwähnen. Entsprechend ist der eleminierte Pull-Faktor auch eher gering im Vergleich.

Ein Pull-Faktor fällt weg.

Wenn man wegfallen als durch etwas anderes ersetzen definiert, dann ja.

Wenn man wegfallen allerdings als tatsächliche Reduktion des Gesamten definiert, sagt die Forschung halt was anderes.

Es ist die Aufgabe von Sozialleistungen bestimmte finanzielle Rahmen für bestimmte Lebensbereiche zu schaffen. Da gehört nunmal auch die Finanzierung des Soziallebens einer Person dazu. Man kann es mögen oder nicht, aber Alkohol hat eine soziale Komponente in unserer Gesellschaft.

Keiner redet davon denen vorzuschreiben, welches Toilettenpapier oder Schnitzel erlaubt ist.

Man redet davon eine Aufzeichnung zu führen, wo genau das Geld hinfließt.

Das kann für eine(n) engagierten Sachbearbeiter:in ein super Mittel sein, um Probleme zu finden. Bloß das bei weitem nicht alle Sacharbeiter:innen engagiert sind. Im Gegenteil zum Teil sitzen da aus eigener Erfahrung richtige Mobber. Ich garantiere, dass die Wahl des Klopapiers irgendwo kritisiert werden wird.

Genauso gut kann man das Argument andersrum drehen: an einem schwierigen Punkt im Leben solcher Menschen ist das letzte, was sie brauchen Alkohol/Drogen. Der Missbrauch davon als Mechanismus, um mit den Lebensumständen klarzukommen, birgt große Gefahren gesundheitlich und gesellschaftlich.

Du schlägst hier also massive Investitionen in die mentale Gesundheit-Infrastruktur & eine psychologisch geschulten Begleitung für jeden Arbeitslosen vor um mentale Probleme frühzeitig zu erkennen und abzuwenden?

Ansonsten schlägst du hier gerade einfach nur die gezielte Schaffung eines Schwarzmarkts vor. Abhängige besorgen sich ihre Drogen, egal wie. Und unter den Leidtragenden der Maßnahme sind hauptsächlich Leute, die garnicht Drogenabhängig sind oder sich in Gefahr befinden in die Sucht zu rutschen.

Fehlende Selbstbestimmung ist jetzt schon ein massives Problem bei so Sachen wie Bürgergeld. Wenn man Menschen die Selbstbestimmung nimmt, dann wird es super schnell verlernt für sich selbst Entscheidungen zu treffen.

Für Betroffene hat das weitreichende Folgen. Fängt bei so simplen Sachen an, wie dem Verschwinden von langfristigen Zielen bis hin zu schweren psychischen Schäden in extremen Fällen.

Man züchtet als Gesellschaft einfach einen Bodensatz an Zombies, die kaum fähig sind ihr Abendessen auszusuchen, geschweige denn am gestaltend am gesellschaftlichen Leben teilzunehmen.

Je länger sie Leute im System hängen desto schwieriger kommen sie dort heraus. Einfach weil sie verlernen ihr Leben zu gestalten.

Und für was? Kostenbegrenzung ist es bei der Bürokratie drumherum sicher nicht.

If you had to boil down, the german constitution into one short sentence, it would be ‘Never again’.

So displaying the german flag at such an occasion, is acually one of the few occasions where it is appropriate to use it in an political context IMHO.

And as a bonus point it gives nazis a taste of there own medicine, by taking symbols & language used by the opposition for your own movement. But in an non-stupid way this time.

As someone, who loves dunking on the Schufa, as any good German should. The Schufa-Score isn’t nearly as insane as some American credit score systems. Having an registered checkingsaccount & no outstanding bills or debt payments is enough data to have a high score.

You don’t need to repay debt to show, that you are able to.

Ist dir der Begriff ‘Gatekeeping’ bekannt?

Im Grunde ist das Whataboutism, der aber völlig legitim ist an der Stelle.

Im Gegenteil es ist die legitime Argumentationsstruktur, die Whataboutism versucht zu imitieren. Vergleiche und Gleichstellungen sind vollkommen legitime und korrekte Argumentationsstruktueren.

You’re making the assumption that Europe should and would want to receive more migrants?

Nope never said anything about migration policy. Don’t read things, I never wrote. I was talking about the fact that every Person arriving at the european border has a right to make there case, why they want to enter & stay at the EU. I never said anything, about how lenient this right should be given.

Italy isn’t able to fulfill this duty of hearing any case individually. It was clear for everybody that the borderstates like Italy or Greece can’t fulfill this duty alone and that a treaty to spread this load is required & subsequently promised but never realised.

And studies have shown that the best way to prevent mass migration of obvious reject cases in the first is to process the people fast, send them back & let them tell there story, if they have no right to stay. Letting people live in camps for months or years is seen as success at home.

Let’s not pretend the itialian government doesn’t create these inhumane conditions deliberately, in hopes of spreading stories of a cruel & not quite so rich Europe to prevent further migration. They do this because they are desperate, because there burocracy can’t cope with so many people.

In an ideal world they would be distributed accross Europe. Moving 7000 people a day is no problem with good public infrastructure. But such treaties exists only in talks for decades. Not the number of people seeking refuge are responsible for the situation on Lampedusa, but the European governments who simply don’t care, even though such a treaty would be a direct consequence of a single border Europe.

Since the CDU still refers to them self as a party with christian values, I wanna point to the story of Judas, who sold his Messiah&God for a few coins. I find it rather fitting, that here a tax cut is the reason for cooperation.

‘Let’s give up all democratic values, in the hope of a few bucks extra in your pocket.’ Fucking pathetic, especally since tax cuts benefit mostly the rich.

The problem with that stance is that there are always behind the scenes talk, before the actual parliamentary vote. So the CDU and FDP-Legislators didn’t just coincidentally voted the same way as there AfD colleagues. There worked actively together to let this law pass.

Through this they legitimises the Afd as just another party with a different ideological background, that can be worked with, if the situation requires it. The next logical step is to form a coalition to win the next administration, of course with the intend to control the minor partner AfD to prevent the radical stuff.

And we went through this exact sequence of events in the past. The OC Nazis rose to power the exact same way.

If you re in the minority you can’t always get what you want. Make yourself more attractive to voters, instead of colluding with Nazis to get your way. Negotiate & compromise harder with the other parties, instead of grabbing the get now & pay later with literal blood option.

But that is hard & working with Nazis is easy.

But they are not used to replace car rides. They replace walks or short bike trips.
